Interview Tips

The in-person interview is your time to show us what you can offer. To present your best self, review the following interview basics.

Dress to impress. The Aetna dress code can vary by department. Some areas require a more professional appearance, while others are OK with casual attire. For the interview, it's best to err on the conservative side. Be sure you look neat and clean.

Be on your best behavior. Basic manners can have a big impact on a job interview. Sit up straight and make eye contact; both will make you look and feel confident. Be gracious and polite during the interview process. Stay positive: Upbeat energy makes a good impression.
